Grabbing a weapon is definetly not initiaing a grapple. I think that sucks, but it is the rules.
Body checking shouldn't be considered grapling either. But if it ends in an uncontroled fall, it's dangerous and therefore illegal.

Body checking
Using the body to knock an opponent against the boards or to the ice. This is often referred to as simply checking or hitting and is only permitted on an opponent with possession of the puck. Body checking can be penalized when performed recklessly. Charging, hitting from behind and boarding are examples of illegal hits, due to their dangerous nature and increased likelihood of causing serious injury. In women's hockey, any body checking is a penalty and is also usually not allowed in amateur leagues and leagues with young children. Some intramural university leagues do not permit bodychecking, in order to avoid injury and incidents of fighting. "Leaning" against opponents is an alternative to body checking but, if abused, may be penalized for holding.
Hip-checking
When a player drops to a near-crouching stance and swings his hips toward an opposing player, sending the opponent off balance, often falling to the ice. A hit below the knees is considered an infraction in the National Hockey League, and called "clipping".
Shoulder-checking
The most common type of body-check, in which a player puts his shoulder into his opponent to muscle the opponent out of position. The elbow must be tucked in, or the player risks taking a penalty for elbowing.

Also, grabbing a weapon is not considered initiating grappling. Otherwise i would be able to use a spear to stab at a line of armored people, and if i didn't have armor, they couldn't attempt to grab the haft of the spear.
As with all things in this sport, common sense is the overriding factor. If people are smart about it, it's safe. If people are jackasses, then a marshal needs to step in. I have seen way more injuries come from missed shield kicks than from grappling.
